Matthews announced his intentions to transfer to Auburn on June 14th. He gets his second chance with the Tigers, and he’ll miss the 2014 season due to the transfer rule.

Matthews was dismissed by Mark Richt after a classroom incident earlier this month, and he took just 11 days to commit to Auburn, who was originally one of two finalists — the other being Georgia — for the former five-star prospect. Matthews started six games last year and made 36 tackles, one interception and one fumble recovery.
